- Dudes & dudettes...
-
- Wondering if you could help me out with a problem I got.
-
- I ordered an 800k External drive from Mac Sale Int'l, for use with my GS, since
- it was my understanding that Apple brand external 800k drives work with either
- Macs or GSes. I got it today, and it isn't working. It's in a beige case...
- and it says on the bottom "800K external drive" but it won't be recognized by
- anything I try to use like Copy ][ +, ProTerm, etc. When I try to set the
- default slot to boot from to slot 5, for the drive, I get that apple moving
- across the screen error, "Device not ready" or something like that. Copy ][+
- says it's a non prodos or dos 3.3 disk. Aaarrggh. Is this an older model that
- doesnt work with the GS? I dont have a copy of the current system software, but
- was planning to FTP it off ftp.apple.com. Could anyone binscii & ShrinkIt the
- system disk (by file not by disk!) and send it to me? Can anyone help me with
- the drive problem, I called MAc Sale and they will exchange it for a platinum
- one...but I have to wait til Monday to call back and check if they have any.
-
- Thanks!
